Integrated Intervention for Breast Cancer Survivors With Diabetes

The purpose of this research study is to learn how therapy for breast cancer or DCIS/LCIS affects cognitive function and beliefs about cancer/DCIS/LCIS and diabetes (DM). For this portion of the study, the study team will integrate the information collected at previous follow-ups to create educational modules to change disease and medication beliefs and improve DM self-management behaviors (SMB). The educational counseling modules the study team plans to pilot test are rooted in the Common Sense Self-Regulation Model, a theory that posits that health behaviors are influenced by two parallel processes: cognitive (i.e., disease beliefs and expectations) and affective (i.e., emotional responses).

- Must be willing to participate in the pilot intervention

Exclusion Criteria:

- Participant with suspected clinical depression on CESD (scored ≥20)
